IngoBlaze Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc464/IngoBlaze/F1Banner.gif Hey everyone! In light of other prediction leagues in the sports bar, I thought it could be fun to create a prediction league for each Formula 1 race in the 2012 calender. Now I know I may have left this too late to predict for the Australian Grand Prix but hopefully this can get underway for the next set of races. Anybody interested in signing up to this should post their names in the thread to sign-up. I'm having no restrictions on how many members can sign-up. Before each race every participant will be required to post their prediction in the thread. I'm giving everyone until Friday 23rd March to sign-up and post their predictions for the first race. After that members will have until before the qualifying to get their predictions completed. After the race is complete I will then tally up the scores from eveybody's predictions and update the leaderboard. Now for the all important predicting and scoring guidelines. IMPORTANT NOTE: All predictions must be made before the qualifying starts. All members will be required to predict the top 5 race positions for each race in the 2012 calender year. For example:- 1st - Vettel 2nd - Hamilton 3rd - Alonso 4th - Perez 5th - Massa Predict a correct position and receive 3 points, predict a driver to finish in the top 5 but in any position, receive 1 point. I will also be producing a bonus set of points which will be awarded at the end of the season. These points will be awarded for predicting:- Drivers Championship - Final Standings 1st - e.g. Vettel 2nd - e.g. Hamilton 3rd - e.g. Alonso Predict a correct position and receive 6 points, predict a driver to finish in the top 3 in any position and receive 2 points. Constructers Championship - Final Standings 1st - e.g. Ferrari 2nd - e.g. McLaren Mercedes 3rd - e.g. Red Bull-Renault Predict a correct position and receive 6 points, predict a driver to finish in the top 3 in any position and receive 2 points. Please read all the rules and guidelines before signing up. Sign-up List 1. IngoBlaze 2. Fireforge 3. McGarnigle 4. MUFC-17 5. Shaun-Bhoy-95 6. AstroFlibble 7. fletchar2 8. matlock49g 9.

fletchar2 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Sign-up list updated. Feel free to post your predictions for the next race and for the overall drivers championship and conductors championship as soon as you sign-up. We have until saturday night right? I think everybody will wait until they know the qualifying results before making each prediction. Surely it would be more interesting to do it before the qualifying?

Surely it would be more interesting to do it before the qualifying? People need to submit their qualifying predictions as well as the race predictions and then WDC and WCC predictions.

IngoBlaze Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Right maybe I should have been more clear, everybody is only to predict the race result, not the starting pole position. Taking into light what fletchar2 has said, I agree that all predictions must be made before the qualifying starts. I'm going to put this in the OP and message everybody who has signed up so far to make sure they are aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
